Does anyone know how many #1 hits Conway Twitty had in Country music?

Conway Twitty was the number one country superstar of the 70s and 80s. He was originally a 50s rock and roll singer, Conway Twitty became the reigning country superstar of the '70s and '80s, racking up a record 40 number one hits over the course of two decades. With his deep, sensual down-home voice.He has the record of the most number one hits of all-time. Over the course of two decades he recorded 40 number one hit songs. I have compiled my favorite Top Ten Songs by Conway Twitty. Conway Twitty's songs are sensitive and sensual, which is part of the reason why he achieved such a large success.

I had no idea, I was privy to the number 55 but knew they were not all country #1's. So, I took to the web to see if there was anything that made mention of it and from the link listed below came across this excerpt:

From 1966 thru 1993-Conway Twitty placed 97 songs on the country music charts-including 40 number ones.

It also mentions that 11 of those were written by him.

This si the link where I found it in case you want to do some further reading for yourself. You will need to scroll down below the article on Tennessee Ernie Ford.
